Enum Class Locale.FilteringMode

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<Locale.FilteringMode>
java.util.Locale.FilteringMode
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<Locale.FilteringMode>, Constable
Enclosing class:
Locale
public static enum Locale.FilteringMode extends Enum<Locale.FilteringMode>
This enum provides constants to select a filtering mode for locale matching. Refer to RFC 4647 Matching of Language Tags for details.

As an example, think of two Language Priority Lists each of which includes only one language range and a set of following language tags: 

    de (German)
    de-DE (German, Germany)
    de-Deva (German, in Devanagari script)
    de-Deva-DE (German, in Devanagari script, Germany)
    de-DE-1996 (German, Germany, orthography of 1996)
    de-Latn-DE (German, in Latin script, Germany)
    de-Latn-DE-1996 (German, in Latin script, Germany, orthography of 1996)
The filtering method will behave as follows:
Filtering method behavior
Filtering Mode Language Priority List: "de-DE" Language Priority List: "de-*-DE"
AUTOSELECT_FILTERING Performs basic filtering and returns "de-DE" and "de-DE-1996". Performs extended filtering and returns "de-DE", "de-Deva-DE", "de-DE-1996", "de-Latn-DE", and "de-Latn-DE-1996".
EXTENDED_FILTERING Performs extended filtering and returns "de-DE", "de-Deva-DE", "de-DE-1996", "de-Latn-DE", and "de-Latn-DE-1996". Same as above.
IGNORE_EXTENDED_RANGES Performs basic filtering and returns "de-DE" and "de-DE-1996". Performs basic filtering and returns null because nothing matches.
MAP_EXTENDED_RANGES Same as above. Performs basic filtering and returns "de-DE" and "de-DE-1996" because "de-*-DE" is mapped to "de-DE".
REJECT_EXTENDED_RANGES Same as above. Throws IllegalArgumentException because "de-*-DE" is not a valid basic language range.

1.8

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constant Description
AUTOSELECT_FILTERING
Specifies automatic filtering mode based on the given Language Priority List consisting of language ranges.
EXTENDED_FILTERING
Specifies extended filtering.
IGNORE_EXTENDED_RANGES
Specifies basic filtering: Note that any extended language ranges included in the given Language Priority List are ignored.
MAP_EXTENDED_RANGES
Specifies basic filtering: If any extended language ranges are included in the given Language Priority List, they are mapped to the basic language range.
REJECT_EXTENDED_RANGES
Specifies basic filtering: If any extended language ranges are included in the given Language Priority List, the list is rejected and the filtering method throws IllegalArgumentException.

Enum Constant Details

AUTOSELECT_FILTERING

public static final Locale.FilteringMode AUTOSELECT_FILTERING
Specifies automatic filtering mode based on the given Language Priority List consisting of language ranges. If all of the ranges are basic, basic filtering is selected. Otherwise, extended filtering is selected.

EXTENDED_FILTERING

public static final Locale.FilteringMode EXTENDED_FILTERING
Specifies extended filtering.

IGNORE_EXTENDED_RANGES

public static final Locale.FilteringMode IGNORE_EXTENDED_RANGES
Specifies basic filtering: Note that any extended language ranges included in the given Language Priority List are ignored.

MAP_EXTENDED_RANGES

public static final Locale.FilteringMode MAP_EXTENDED_RANGES
Specifies basic filtering: If any extended language ranges are included in the given Language Priority List, they are mapped to the basic language range. Specifically, a language range starting with a subtag "*" is treated as a language range "*". For example, "*-US" is treated as "*". If "*" is not the first subtag, "*" and extra "-" are removed. For example, "ja-*-JP" is mapped to "ja-JP".

REJECT_EXTENDED_RANGES

public static final Locale.FilteringMode REJECT_EXTENDED_RANGES
Specifies basic filtering: If any extended language ranges are included in the given Language Priority List, the list is rejected and the filtering method throws IllegalArgumentException.

Method Details

values

public static Locale.FilteringMode[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
Returns:
an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Locale.FilteringMode valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
Parameters:
name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
Returns:
the enum constant with the specified name
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
NullPointerException - if the argument is null
